When you lift your hands up, it feels really celebratory. In a class, you know this pose marks the end of the standing poses and you're about to get onto the floor and get into more of the relaxation stuff.

Headstand

I like headstand because it's taught me that I can do a lot more than I think I can do. It's one of those poses that I was really scared of and I thought was difficult but actually it's more about getting into the right mindset, then you find you can do it!

I do wheel when I'm in bad mood - there's something about the change in perspective I really like. When you're feeling down, you tend to slump down. Because wheel makes you lift your chest up, it makes it very uplifting.

Side stretch

There's something about opening up the sides of the body which feels really good. You can do side stretch in the office and it won't seem weird, whereas doing a headstand might seem really full on.
